RMUIT campus in Sakon Nakhon delivers 18,000 cannabis pellets

Dr Kosit Sriputhorn, the vice-rector of RMUTI’s Sakon Nakhon campus, said that the university had personnel and technology that could help the plantation of cannabis in order to maximise its benefits for traditional Thai medicine and medical tourism

He said RMUTI had spent two years developing the system to meet the standard with organic plantation and ownership granted by the FDA.

He said 18,000 cannabis pellets had been delivered to organisations under the Public Health Ministry’s administration, which will later be sent to hospitals in 150 communities.

Requests for more pellets are being fulfilled, while RMUTI is selecting strains that would facilitate Sakon Nakhon's registration as a seed bank, he said.
